Every civil service reform plan opens with the same list of complaints: poor performance, low motivation, weak accountability. Across six African countries and three decades, governments launched 131 separate reform efforts; not one fully achieved what it set out to do.Martin Williams spent more than a decade working alongside Ghana's civil service before writing a book called Reform as Process that analyses the lessons from his experience, and the rest of the 131 reforms. For example, 34 programmes across six countries tried to link civil service pay to performance; none delivered. One lesson is that formal rules and accountability systems cannot govern what matters in a civil service: innovation, adaptation, co-ordination, the willingness to act on the spirit of a rule rather than its letter. Meaningful reforms often require no money at all. They require changing expectations from inside, starting small and building credibility, decentralising the leadership of change, and treating new formal rules as a last resort rather than a first step.The book behind this episode:Williams, Martin J. 2026.

Williams is Associate Professor of Organizational Studies and Associate Professor (by courtesy) of Political Science and Public Policy at the University of Michigan, and Associate Faculty at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford. His research spans the politics and management of policy implementation, public service delivery, and bureaucratic reform, with a sustained focus on sub-Saharan Africa. He previously worked as an economist in Ghana's Ministry of Trade and Industry as an Overseas Development Institute Fellow, and as a Senior Researcher at the Economic Policy Research Institute in Cape Town. Reform as Process has been shortlisted for the Douglass North Award for best book in institutional and organizational economics.Research cited in this episodeNon-verifiable tasks. In organizational economics, a verifiable action is one where a third party (an auditor, a judge, an administrative tribunal) can determine objectively whether it was performed correctly. Non-verifiable tasks are those where no such determination can be made; they include innovation, adaptation, co-ordination across teams, and acting on the spirit of a rule rather than its letter. Williams draws on this framework, which originates in contract theory, to explain why formal accountability systems consistently fall short: they can only govern verifiable outputs, leaving the full range of non-verifiable tasks unaddressed and, in many cases, actively crowded out.Performance-linked incentive systems. Williams's dataset covers 34 separate reform efforts across Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and Zambia that attempted to tie civil service pay or progression to measured performance. Not one delivered sustained differentiated incentives on an ongoing basis; only two achieved even partial delivery of rewards, and none delivered sanctions based on measured performance. Williams argues this is not isolated implementation failure but reflects a structural incompatibility between formalised performance metrics and the non-verifiable nature of much civil service work. Managers respond rationally: they set soft targets, award uniform scores, and the process becomes a tick-box exercise.Projectization of reform. Williams uses this term to describe the dominant approach: treating change as a time-bound, discrete intervention with its own budget, acronym, and implementing team, conceived separately from the organisation's core work. This approach systematically distorts reform goals towards formally measurable outputs (new policies, new laws) rather than sustained behavioural change, undermines credibility by signalling a predetermined end date, and reinforces the perception among civil servants that reform is a temporary performance before things return to normal.Continuous improvement. Williams draws an analogy with physical fitness: achieving a target and then stopping does not sustain the gain. High-performing organisations, in the public and private sectors alike, treat improvement as an ongoing process embedded in daily work, not a periodic project handed to a specialist unit. Starting small is not an absence of ambition; it is how credibility is built and larger changes become possible. Williams argues civil service reform should be reconceived on these terms, with performance improvement treated as the job of everyone in the organisation.Decentralised reform leadership. The dominant model of reform leadership, Williams argues, is a visionary leader driving a top-down plan. This model is counterproductive. It personalises reform in ways that guarantee reversal when the leader moves on, and it cannot reach the day-to-day interactions among the thousands of individuals and hundreds of teams that determine how a civil service actually works. A more effective model is catalysing rather than forcing: creating conditions in which teams can identify and solve their own problems, escalate issues, co-ordinate with each other, and act on ideas for improvement without fear of being ignored or penalised.More VoxDev Talks episodesHow government analytics can improve public sector implementation, in which Daniel Rogger and Christian Schuster discuss their efforts to use the data that already exists in governments to better understand how they function. 

Infidelity, Trauma & the Nervous System: Why Healing Is So Complex (and What Actually Works) Infidelity is rarely simple—and healing from it isn't either. In this grounded, deeply human conversation, Lora sits down with trauma therapist Dr. Monique Thompson to explore the real complexity behind betrayal, relationships, and recovery. This is not a conversation about quick fixes, blame, or black-and-white answers. It's about understanding what's actually happening beneath the surface—neurologically, emotionally, and relationally. Together, they unpack how trauma lives in the body, why you can look “fine” while your nervous system is in distress, and how early experiences—even preverbal ones—shape the way we connect, react, and make decisions in relationships. They also explore the truth about infidelity: it's not always clear-cut, it's not always intentional in the way we think, and it's never just about the moment it happened. Betrayal often uncovers deeper layers—identity, attachment, self-worth, and long-standing patterns that were already in motion. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing requires slowing down, tending to yourself, and getting the right support. Whether you stay, leave, or don't yet know what you want, there is no one “right” path—only your path. If you've been trying to make sense of what happened, or wondering why this feels so overwhelming, this conversation will help you understand why—and what actually helps. Top 3 Takeaways Infidelity is complex and rarely black-and-white. It often reflects deeper patterns, trauma, and unmet needs that existed long before the relationship. Trauma is not just emotional—it is biological. You can appear functional on the outside while your nervous system is in a state of stress or survival. Healing requires support, not isolation. Whether through therapy, coaching, or a team approach, having guidance helps you regulate, process, and make aligned decisions. Pull Quotes “You can look fine on the outside—and still have a nervous system that thinks it's in a war zone.” About Monique Dr. Monique Thompson, DHA, LPC, LPC-S, is an EMDR-trained trauma and infidelity recovery therapist based in Dallas with over 24 years of experience in private practice.

We all have that one co-worker. The one who microwaves smoked mackerel in the breakroom, doesn't pull their weight on group projects, or simply drives you up the wall. It's easy to look around the office (or the Zoom screen) and think, "I am surrounded by idiots." But before you vent to your work bestie... what if they aren't the problem? What if the real issue is the environment? Or worse... what if the problem is you? This week on The Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy Lopata welcomes back international leadership coach, in-demand speaker, and returning guest Zena Everett. Zena is the author of Mind Flip, the award-winning The Crazy Busy Cure, and her brand-new, hilariously relatable survival guide, Badly Behaved People: How to Work with Idiots. Originally a recruitment entrepreneur, she has an MSc in Career Management and Coaching, alongside postgraduate qualifications in psychological coaching and leadership from MIT. She has coached on the Executive MBA Programme at Oxford University's Saïd Business School and is a member of the Associate Faculty at Henley Business School. Today, she runs a global coaching practice dedicated to replacing bad behavior and crazy busyness with productive, thriving, and profitable team relationships. Bringing her signature blend of evidence-based insights and highly entertaining truths to the table, Zena helps Andy unpack his own workplace behavior from his early career. Together, they dismantle everything we think we know about "bad behavior" at work. From the rise of the "accidental manager" to the silent damage of crazy-busy work cultures, this episode is a masterclass in turning workplace frustration into friction-free collaboration. Whether you manage a global remote team, you're navigating the tricky waters of Gen Z vs. older generations, or you just want to know how to politely tell someone to stop playing their TikToks out loud on the train—this episode is for you. What we discussed in this episode: Are you trying so hard not to be a toxic boss that you've accidentally become a "Mama Bear" manager? Discover why overly nurturing leadership is actually setting your team up for failure—and the one boundary you need to set tomorrow morning. There is a specific, old-school workplace dynamic that dictates whether a Gen Z employee quits after 2 years or stays for 5.  Remote work killed the watercooler, but did it also kill your team's best ideas? Find out how hybrid work is quietly breeding transactional relationships, and the brilliant, non-digital strategy one executive uses to get the magic back. Learn why we've lost our social awareness, and the exact script to use to confront micro-aggressions without making things awkward. Learn the brutal—but necessary—questions you must ask yourself to find out if your lack of communication is secretly breeding the exact bad behavior you hate.   SELECTED LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Connect with Andy Lopata: Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | X/Twitter | YouTube Connect with Zena Everett: Website |LinkedIn | The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring Badly Behaved People: How to deal with idiots at work

Why He Can't Stop: The Truth About Porn Addiction, Cheating & Compulsive Behavior in Relationships You keep asking the same question: Why does he keep doing this—even when he knows it hurts me? In this eye-opening episode, Lora sits down with former Buddhist monk and addiction expert Jeremy Lipkowitz to unpack the real reasons behind compulsive behaviors like porn use, cheating, and addiction. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level answers. Together, they explore how addictive behaviors form, why they aren't about you, and what true recovery actually requires. If you've ever felt confused, hurt, or stuck trying to understand your partner's behavior—this episode will bring clarity, validation, and a new way forward. Top 3 Takeaways It's not about you—it's a coping mechanism. Most addictive behaviors begin early and are rooted in emotional regulation, not love, attraction, or relationship satisfaction. Addiction is about pain, not pleasure. The real question isn't “Why the addiction?”—it's “What pain is being avoided?” Healing requires addressing the root, not just stopping the behavior. You can't shame someone into change—but you can create awareness. True transformation happens through self-awareness, accountability, and building a life that no longer needs escape.

The C.O.W.S. welcomes Admitted Racist Dr. Kylie Smith live from Australia. Classified as a White Woman, Dr. Smith “is an Associate Professor, tenured, and the Andrew W. Mellon Faculty Fellow for Nursing and the Humanities and Associate Faculty in the Department of History at Emory.” “She teaches courses on the history of race in health care, critical theory, and nursing theory and philosophy.” We'll discuss her 2026 publication, Jim Crow in the Asylum: Psychiatry and Civil Rights in the American South. This book examines how mental health facilities in so-called southern US states rigidly maintained and refined the System of White Supremacy. Dr. Smith highlights that the foundation of mental health facilities was about the maintenance of White Supremacy - which often means the confinement of black people. She reiterates what Dr. Welsing told us, White people do not think mental health remedies are for black people. We learn that Racists felt the best therapy for dark people was a good beating, and/or a hard day's work like back on the plantation.

One of the oldest and most recognizable studios in Hollywood, Warner Bros. is considered a juggernaut of the entertainment industry. Since its formation in the early twentieth century, the studio has been a constant presence in cinema history, responsible for the creation of acclaimed films, blockbuster brands, and iconic superstars. In The Warner Brothers (UP of Kentucky, 2023), Chris Yogerst follows the siblings from their family's humble origins in Poland, through their young adulthood in the American Midwest, to the height of fame and fortune in Hollywood. With unwavering resolve, the brothers soldiered on against the backdrop of an America reeling from the aftereffects of domestic and global conflict. The Great Depression would not sink the brothers, who churned out competitive films that engaged audiences and kept their operations afloat―and even expanding. During World War II, they used their platform to push beyond the limits of the Production Code and create important films about real-world issues, openly criticizing radicalism and the evils of the Nazi regime. At every major cultural turning point in their lifetime, the Warners held a front-row seat. These days, the studio is best known as a media conglomerate with a broad range of intellectual property, spanning movies, TV shows, and streaming content. Despite popular interest in the origins of this empire, the core of the Warner Bros. saga cannot be found in its commercial successes. It is the story of four brothers―Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack―whose vision for Hollywood helped shape the world of entertainment as we know it. Paying close attention to the brothers' identities as cultural and economic outsiders, Yogerst chronicles how the Warners built a global filmmaking powerhouse. Equal parts family history and cinematic journey, The Warner Brothers is an empowering story of the American dream and the legacy four brothers left behind for generations of filmmakers and film lovers to come. Chris Yogerst is the author of Hollywood Hates Hitler! Jew-Baiting, Anti-Nazism, and the Senate Investigation into Warmongering in Motion Pictures and From the Headlines to Hollywood: The Birth and Boom of Warner Bros. He appeared on the New Books Network to discuss the book in 2020. His work has appeared in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, Journal of American Culture, Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television, and the Hollywood Reporter.

One of the oldest and most recognizable studios in Hollywood, Warner Bros. is considered a juggernaut of the entertainment industry. Since its formation in the early twentieth century, the studio has been a constant presence in cinema history, responsible for the creation of acclaimed films, blockbuster brands, and iconic superstars. In The Warner Brothers (UP of Kentucky, 2023), Chris Yogerst follows the siblings from their family's humble origins in Poland, through their young adulthood in the American Midwest, to the height of fame and fortune in Hollywood. With unwavering resolve, the brothers soldiered on against the backdrop of an America reeling from the aftereffects of domestic and global conflict. The Great Depression would not sink the brothers, who churned out competitive films that engaged audiences and kept their operations afloat―and even expanding. During World War II, they used their platform to push beyond the limits of the Production Code and create important films about real-world issues, openly criticizing radicalism and the evils of the Nazi regime. At every major cultural turning point in their lifetime, the Warners held a front-row seat. These days, the studio is best known as a media conglomerate with a broad range of intellectual property, spanning movies, TV shows, and streaming content. Despite popular interest in the origins of this empire, the core of the Warner Bros. saga cannot be found in its commercial successes. It is the story of four brothers―Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack―whose vision for Hollywood helped shape the world of entertainment as we know it. Paying close attention to the brothers' identities as cultural and economic outsiders, Yogerst chronicles how the Warners built a global filmmaking powerhouse. Equal parts family history and cinematic journey, The Warner Brothers is an empowering story of the American dream and the legacy four brothers left behind for generations of filmmakers and film lovers to come. Chris Yogerst is the author of Hollywood Hates Hitler! Jew-Baiting, Anti-Nazism, and the Senate Investigation into Warmongering in Motion Pictures and From the Headlines to Hollywood: The Birth and Boom of Warner Bros. He appeared on the New Books Network to discuss the book in 2020. His work has appeared in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, Journal of American Culture, Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television, and the Hollywood Reporter.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with cultural anthropologist Greta YOU-LING about her new book, Decolonizing Ukraine: The Indigenous People of Crimea and Pathways to Freedom, a fascinating story about an indigenous group in Crimea fighting for its rights.  Uehling tells us of the complex history of the Crimean Tatars, a Sunni Muslim group who were driven off their land in 1944 by the Soviet Union. This group now finds itself caught in the Russia-Ukraine war. It has rebuffed attempts by Putin and yet also has insisted on maintaining and defending its indigenous identity and rights with regard to Ukraine. We talk about the importance of both cultural memory and political struggle in the present, and hear of Greta's time at the barricade which Tatars set up to stem the flow of materials across their land.Greta Uehling is a cultural anthropologist who works at the intersection of Indigenous and Eastern European Studies. She is a Teaching Professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where she is in the Program in International and Comparative Studies and is Associate Faculty of the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies. Uehling is the author of three books: Beyond Memory: The Deportation and Return of the Crimean Tatars (Palgrave 2004), Everyday War: The Conflict over Donbas, Ukraine (Cornell University Press 2023), and Decolonizing Ukraine: The Indigenous People of Crimea and Pathways to Freedom (Rowman & Littlefield 2025). Throughout her career, Uehling has served as a consultant to organizations working in the fields of international migration, human rights, and human trafficking, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

As Pres. Trump & Putin meet in Alaska, without Pres. Zelensky, to discuss a peace deal in the Russian-Ukrainian War, it is not at all certain that any land will in fact be swapped for peace, as suggested by Pres. Trump. But one thing is for certain - that Pres. Putin will not, ever, swap Crimea for any land in Ukraine. In this episode, my guest and I discuss the history of Crimea and the Crimean Tatars.

One of the oldest and most recognizable studios in Hollywood, Warner Bros. is considered a juggernaut of the entertainment industry. Since its formation in the early twentieth century, the studio has been a constant presence in cinema history, responsible for the creation of acclaimed films, blockbuster brands, and iconic superstars. In The Warner Brothers (UP of Kentucky, 2023), Chris Yogerst follows the siblings from their family's humble origins in Poland, through their young adulthood in the American Midwest, to the height of fame and fortune in Hollywood. With unwavering resolve, the brothers soldiered on against the backdrop of an America reeling from the aftereffects of domestic and global conflict. The Great Depression would not sink the brothers, who churned out competitive films that engaged audiences and kept their operations afloat―and even expanding. During World War II, they used their platform to push beyond the limits of the Production Code and create important films about real-world issues, openly criticizing radicalism and the evils of the Nazi regime. At every major cultural turning point in their lifetime, the Warners held a front-row seat. These days, the studio is best known as a media conglomerate with a broad range of intellectual property, spanning movies, TV shows, and streaming content. Despite popular interest in the origins of this empire, the core of the Warner Bros. saga cannot be found in its commercial successes. It is the story of four brothers―Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack―whose vision for Hollywood helped shape the world of entertainment as we know it. Paying close attention to the brothers' identities as cultural and economic outsiders, Yogerst chronicles how the Warners built a global filmmaking powerhouse. Equal parts family history and cinematic journey, The Warner Brothers is an empowering story of the American dream and the legacy four brothers left behind for generations of filmmakers and film lovers to come. Chris Yogerst is the author of Hollywood Hates Hitler! Jew-Baiting, Anti-Nazism, and the Senate Investigation into Warmongering in Motion Pictures and From the Headlines to Hollywood: The Birth and Boom of Warner Bros. He appeared on the New Books Network to discuss the book in 2020. His work has appeared in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, Journal of American Culture, Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television, and the Hollywood Reporter. He currently serves as an associate professor of communication in the Department of Arts and Humanities at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.

Previous guest Jacob Bricca (Documentary Editing: Principles and Practice) is a professional film editor and director, specializing in documentaries. In his new book, he breaks down the hidden conventions of the documentary film in accessible language for film students and documentary enthusiasts alike. Chapters on Narrative and Meaning show how documentaries use story constructions borrowed from fiction filmmaking and combine elements from disparate sources in order to prosecute their stories, while chapters on Flow and Time illuminate the precise mechanics of how the flow of information in a documentary is regulated to produce a specific result in the mind of the viewer. Other chapters like Titles, Music, and Sound break the documentary down into its component parts that can be analyzed independently.  Throughout How Documentaries Work (Oxford University Press, 2023), excerpts from interviews with documentary producers, directors and craftspersons help to illuminate the concepts and deliver behind-the-scenes insights. It contains examples from over 100 contemporary documentaries and covers a wide variety of contemporary non-fiction work, including docu-series, television documentaries, unscripted series, and contemporary avant-garde documentaries.
